NYDS 2006!

Have finally managed to get a free moment to blog after checking all my email, emptying out my suitcase (which for the first time ever had more documents than clothes! i am a smart nomad!) and sorting out all my personal email.

NYDS 2006 - wow. Thomas, Khadija, Agha, Khurram, Sharmeen, Sadaf, Saaim, Mikaal, Shahzaman and myself headed to the conference via train/plane..and since Nida's done a pretty good job of putting down the best parts of the conference..I'm going to jot down whatever else remains..

The train ride and the amount of food everyone had got!
The alien wedding on the way
Saaim buying plastic spoons for Rs. 5 each
The incredibly helpful OC
The energy in plenary
The King! [Dhruv was a fantastic chair!! =D]
The note that was slipped under the door, preceded by endless text messages and calls asking the occupants of the faci/chief del/MC meeting to come out and party!
Saad and Obaid complaining before legislation because they got stuck between Nida and me in the legislation seating! :P
Teaching everyone jives!
The 7 hour non-stop legislation party! (when I say motion, you say block! - when I say 2a, you say b! - when I say IPM, you say del fee!)
Baaaaaaaaaaa!
Formal dinner :)

Lots of random moments to come later :)
